Tomarata Guy Fawkes Stories

I had a ride in the truck: Vrrmmm, chhhh! We were off!
I had an ice cream. I went on the bouncy castle.
At last it was time for fireworks. Boom! Bang! It was wonderful.

I went to Guy Fawkes and it was fun. And we stayed up till 9 o’clock. Some were loud and some were quiet.
When we got to Kaea’s house we went to bed and it was fun.
By Jade
I went to Guy Fawkes and I went on Chipmunks and then we saw the fireworks. P-choing!  I got freaked out but it was fun.
By Kaea
I went to the Guy Fawkes. I got an ice cream. I saw the fireworks and it was fun. The fireworks were noisy and colourful.   By Taylor

ROOM 2 CHILDREN'S FAMILY TRADITIONS

Every two years we have a family Guy Fawkes party with lots of fireworks and we celebrate Taylor’s birthday with it.  Taylor
Each year we go camping to the same place with the same people. It has become a family tradition. Toby
BIRTHDAYS
The birthday person gets to choose what to do for dinner, e.g. MacDonalds. Sarah
Granny Shirl’s Happy Birthday monkey song! Fred
We celebrate birthdays with a cake.  Dad said a karakia when we were born.  When a baby is born we keep the placenta and bury it at home. Jade
On the morning of our birthdays, Dad makes us pancakes the shape of the number we are turning. Grace
CHRISTMAS
For Christmas we have a hangi and special decorations. Sam
We like to go and see both lots of grandparents on Christmas. We get a pine tree from Poppa’s beach. It smells nice. Jett
We like to spend the day with our families and other special people and eat lots of yummy food! Haylee
We always put the angel on top of the tree. We have a family day with all our family – no working. Sarah
We put our Christmas tree up after Jack’s birthday (18th December) and then we decorate it together! Fred
Every Christmas Lily, Hugo and I do a play about Mary, Joseph and Jesus. And it’s about him getting born. Skye
Every Christmas we put a star on our tree.  We have a Christmas decoration that sings.  Jade
